I teach thinking. Not the ability to think; we all have that. I teach the skills to see and think better, more openly, more critically, more clearly. Without that skill, we are ill-equipped to do more than what we have been trained to do. And we are ill-prepared to innovate, to adapt, and to succeed in the face of new challenges and unforeseen opportunities.

If you truly want to enjoy writing all the time, the secret is simple: Don’t do it. For the rest of us, we are either paid to do it, or for some reason feel a desire. I have been both – not always happily and not always well. But the practice of writing certainly led to a habit (if not a skill), and I continue to indulge whenever life permits.

Speaking, lecturing, discussing, arguing, listening, conversing - when done well, each of these is enjoyable. And each of these is valuable as both speaker and listener explore and learn on whatever short journey they share. So no matter the setting, the audience, the format, or the goal, I am always pleased to join you for that next conversation.
